There has been a mobility in the Linux community, aftermath of
Ubuntu-huge-announcements. It’s a good thing that people are trying
different distros now. Distro-hopper culture is back in style. Among
all the distros, Antergos has been getting a lot of attention lately.
Antergos is an Arch Linux-based distro. It was previously called
Cinnarch (Cinnamon+Arch). But now it provides all the desktop environments.
Antergos is a distro with elegance. It’s fast, user-
friendly and fully adheres to the Arch principle of
simplicity.
Antergos is pure eye candy. It features the Numix frost
theme made exclusively for Antergos and this theme
integrates beautifully with all the desktop
environments Antergos has to offers and turns the
desktop into a thing of beauty.
Antergos is highly stable. The myth of Arch Linux
being unstable is well, a myth. Antergos capitalizes on
the bleeding edge release of Arch Linux to provide the
latest of everything to its users, while also providing a
stable computing experience.
Also, being based on Arch Linux means access to the
Arch User Repository. On Antergos, you never have to
through the hassle of PPA’s like in Ubuntu. Any
software you want can be searched, downloaded and
installed through one terminal command. This
simplifies so many things. It also means that you never
have to scavenge the internet for software install
instructions ever.
Steam runs fine on Antergos. Although I don’t play
games, I bought some on Steam Summer Sale and had a
blast. You can even play many non-Steam games by
fetching them through the Arch User Repository.
Antergos has a good community support. Arch Wiki,
the most professionally maintained documentation for
a Linux distro, is applicable to Antergos. So you won’t
feel stuck anywhere. Antergos has it’s own IRC and
forum as well.
All things together, make Antergos an amazing desktop
OS candidate. No wonder more and more people are
getting Antergos. I seriously think you should give it a
try.
Arch Linux is known for its overwhelming installation
procedure. Antergos comes with an easy to install, DIY
thingy. Your personalized OS can be installed very
easily. Do check out the awesome Antergos.
